    Default Does a Guardian Bell have more than one life?

    Right after getting my Yamaha Royal Star Venture I got myself a guardian bell. It's been said that it's only half as good if you buy it yourself but for the last 66k+ miles it's done a great job for me. No accidents, never dropped the bike and I could always see it hanging there while riding. Today I took it off the Yamaha to put on my new Spyder.
    THE BELL WORKED but is it still good???

    Bob is a good guy with good intentions, however, yours worked for you that long you might think twice about parting with it. Just a thought. What the hey, run two, shouldn't hurt anything. After all, you'd be benefiting from twice the coverage.

    We have a couple on both bikes. Given to us by friends of course. So far--they are working.

    There are several printed legends on the internet. Just search "guardian bell" and they will pop up. Take your pick.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    Huh! Didn't think of that before I rode last Friday 13th. Had a safe, good ride, bell hanging below my foot. One thing I have always heard is to attach the bell as close to the road as possible. From there, the bell is closer to the road demons and can slay them easier.

    Big call, Bigmo. Try walking into a bike wreckers some time. The number of write offs with gremlin bells still attached is staggering. But then, I have had 5 black cats cross my path, have walked under many ladders, have survived many Black Fridays and have not experienced any incidents either
